C h A I R M A N ’ S L E T T E R

Dear fellow shareholder,

In a year in which domestic equity, capital and mineral commodities markets in Australia’s resources sector came under immense price and performance pressures, particularly for junior explorers and miners, I am pleased to report to you that against this trend, Red Mountain Mining Ltd (“Red Mountain Mining” or “the Company”) has achieved substantial project progress.

This level of success is not in isolation. It is in line with our strategy to emerge, in time, as a significant gold producer in the highly prospective regions of the Philippines.

It is also aligned fully with our enunciated business plan to introduce Australian mining methods and efficiencies to gain significant exploration and production upside, and to emerge as a multi-project gold developer and producer across greater Asia’s mineral resources sector. Adherence to our business plan is the key to creating shareholder value and market recognition of our achievements and aspirations.

your Company’s solid success, in the just eight months to balance date, from our formal acquisition of the flagship brownfields Batangas gold project (“Batangas Project”) on Luzon Island, south of Manila, plus a 75% interest in the Tapian San Francisco copper-gold project (“Tapian San Francisco Project”) on Mindanao, means Red Mountain has bedded down solidly our first stepping stone to achieving our longer term vision.

It gives me great pleasure therefore, to present to you from your Board, its Annual Report on the performance of the Company for the 12 months to 30 June 2013.

Our work in that time has confirmed JORC Indicated and Inferred gold resources of 5.8 million tonnes at an average grade of 2.2 grams per tonne gold for 408,000 ounces of gold (using a 0.85 g/t Au lower cut off) at the Batangas Project and demonstrated high-grade potential exploration upside.

To put this in to context, Red Mountain Mining has drilled a total of 5,354 metres of diamond core at the Batangas Project up to 30 June 2013. A further 3,200 metres of drilling and a development scoping study is planned for 2013-2014. This work is already underway. New extensional and resource definition drilling campaigns, post balance date, based around prudent expenditure on only the optimal near surface high-grade targets, are aimed at increasing the size and grade of the overall Batangas gold resource, particularly around the broader but under-explored Lobo prospect area .

We plan also to complete a scoping study to demonstrate the high cash-flow potential of a 500,000 tonnes per annum gold mining and processing project, combining gold resources from both Archangel and Lobo within the Batangas Project, to generate maiden output of up to 35,000 ounces of gold per year for up to 10 years. The scoping study and how it points to future project financing options for the Batangas Project and Red Mountain Mining, will be a key outcome for your Company in the next 12 months.

That the past year was difficult in terms of share price performance across the junior sector cannot be denied. There has been a significant drop-off in speculative investment in explorers, by both retail and sophisticated investors alike. Red Mountain Mining did not escape this broader share price decline but we believe our strategy, and our discovery success in just eight months, has established the groundwork for building sustainable shareholder value in the short to medium term.

It was pleasing to note during the period under review, the Philippines Government adopted new Executive Orders designed to reform the country’s mining code and improve the regulation of its mining practices and to streamline and fast track its approvals processes. This will generate higher levels of sustainability in what is a very well established and endowed mining industry in this, the host country for Red Mountain Mining’s projects. While some issues of corporate taxation and royalty adjustments are still being determined, Red Mountain Mining believes any minor adjustment upwards of royalty obligations can be realistically accommodated within new mine development planning and costings.

R e d M o u n t a i n M i n i n g L t d

C h A I R M A N ’ S L E T T E R

Another positive outcome was a re-rating by Standard and Poors to BB+ from BBB- of the Philippines’ investment grade – a decision analysts believe will favour a more competitive environment for the future financing or joint venturing of mining projects in the Philippines.

It is Red Mountain Mining’s belief that the investment climate for the Philippines by foreign miners or project owners is now at least comparable to or better than other more recognised international mining jurisdictions. We believe this may attract over the next decade, more Australian involvement back into the South East Asian corridor after our sector’s forays in the past ten years or so primarily into Africa and Latin America.

At a financial level, your Company launched, prior to balance date, and successfully issued post balance date, a capital raising initiative. This has injected net funds of around $2.5 million, sufficient to fully fund your Company’s exploration drilling programs and development studies planned for 2013-2014, including funding for the scoping study.

The success of the capital raising, against an unsympathetic equities market for juniors, means Red Mountain Mining is now fully funded to conduct all of its current scheduled exploration and drilling campaigns. The Company remains debt free.

So our objectives for 2013-2014 are very clear, complete the resource upgrade and additional drilling, complete the scoping study and, if favourable, initiate final permitting and feasibility studies to continue down the pathway towards achieving first gold production.

I thank sincerely my fellow Directors, our strong management team and our advisors, for their commitment, input and guidance over the past year. They have answered every challenge to ensure that we establish a pathway to build value for you, our shareholders. I would personally like to thank Keith Rowe who resigned as a Director during the year for his efforts and contribution since the Company was incorporated in 2006.

Thank you for your support. We welcome your continued partnership with Red Mountain Mining as we look to a promising year ahead.

REvIEW Of OPERATIONS

On 24 July 2012, Red Mountain Mining signed a binding Share Sale Agreement (“SSA”) with Mindoro Resources Limited (“Mindoro”) to acquire direct interests in and contractual rights to 100% of Mindoro’s Batangas and 75% of the Tapian San Francisco Joint venture gold and copper-gold assets in the Philippines through the issue of:

  • (a) 100,000,000 fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of Red Mountain Mining; and

(b) 50,000,000 performance shares in the capital of Red Mountain Mining that convert into ordinary shares if, within 12 months of completion of the sale, both (a) the gold resource across the Assets increase to 600,000 ounces at a JORC Indicated level; and (b) a scoping study is completed on the Assets that confirms that the development of a mine is economically viable, where the scoping study must have a minimum of 50% conversion of the 600,000 ounces Indicated JORC Resource to Probable Reserves or equivalent.

Under the SSA the 100,000,000 ordinary Red Mountain Mining shares and 50,000,000 performance shares issued to Mindoro were escrowed for 12 months from completion (which occurred on 30 October 2012). In addition,

BACkgROuND

On 30 October 2012, Red Mountain Mining formally completed the acquisition of 100% direct and indirect contractual interests in the Batangas Gold Project and a 75% direct and indirect contractual interest in the Tapian San Francisco copper-gold Project in the Philippines for a consideration of 100 million Red Mountain Mining (ASX:RMX) shares to Mindoro worth in value around A$10 million at the time of acquisition.

PhILIPPINES

The Philippines project interests that were acquired by the Company include the Batangas Gold Project located in the Province of Batangas on the main island of Luzon and certain tenements at Tapian San Francisco in the Surigao Province of northern Mindanao.

Both projects are located within regional provinces strongly endowed with major gold and copper-gold resources and mining projects (see Philippines map on the following page).

BATANgAS gOLD PROJECT

The Batangas gold project (“Batangas Project”) is located 120 kilometres south of Manila on the south coast of Luzon Island. The project tenements cover an area of 270 square kilometres and include two key gold Mineral Resource areas located on Mineral Production Sharing Agreements (MPSA’s – the Philippines equivalent of Mining Leases) at Archangel and Lobo, and copper-gold exploration areas on granted Exploration Permits (EP’s) at El Paso and Talahib.

==> picture [511 x 383] intentionally omitted <==

Map of the Batangas Project Tenements and gold Mineral Resources

The Batangas Project is located within a well-mineralised belt of Luzon Island consisting of gold and copper-gold mineralised and pervasively altered andesitic volcanics, intruded by diorite and dacite intrusives, which are overlain in places by younger volcanic sequences.

Gold mineralisation at Archangel is associated with extensive quartz stockwork veining and hydrothermal breccia’s hosted by shallow dipping andesitic volcanics. Gold mineralisation at Lobo is associated with a series of five parallel epithermal lode structures and breccias that have been mapped over a combined strike length of 15 kilometres.

Drilling programs were completed at Archangel, testing for high-grade resource extensions, and Lobo, testing the West Drift and Pica epithermal vein structures, for a total of 28 diamond drillholes for 5,354 metres (m).

Following acquisition of the project in October 2012, a 10 diamond drill hole program for a total of 1,793 m was completed at Archangel, with the objectives of better defining and structurally orienting the higher grade zones for Mineral Resource estimation, and testing for potential extensions to higher-grade zones at depth below the Mineral Resources. The program was successful and produced several significant intersections including from the Kay Tanda Main area, KTD 191-12: 26.2m @ 4.07 g/t gold (Au) from 19.4m down hole and KTD 196-12: 20.55m @ 1.66 g/t Au from 21.15m; from Kay Tanda West (Pulang Lupa), KTD 195-12: 9.3m @ 3.55 g/t Au, 19.21 g/t Silver (Ag) from 41.1m including 3.95m @ 6.27 g/t Au, and from deeper veining on the northwestern flank of Kay Tanda Main, KTD 199-12: 2.20m @ 36.53 g/t Au from 203m including 1.2m @ 62.0 g/t Au, which is open to the northwest at depth.

LOBO EPIThERMAL gOLD PROJECT

A review of available data at the Lobo Project at Batangas, highlighted potential for the discovery of additional high-grade gold mineralisation within the over 15 kilometre strike-length of epithermal vein-breccia structures that have been mapped at Lobo. The initial resource defined at Lobo is the South West Breccia (SWB) Indicated and Inferred Mineral Resource of 194,000 tonnes grading 7.2 g/t Au containing 45,000 ozs Au, that remains open below 150m vertical depth. Other potential epithermal gold shoots were identified based on previous drilling and surface sampling at West Drift, below the old Lobo copper mine, Japanese Tunnel, 150m southwest and along strike from the SWB resource and at Pica, where previous drilling intersected high-grade epithermal gold veining.

A two pronged strategy was developed to drill test the initial targets and trench sample other identified outcropping epithermal vein structures with the ultimate objective of increasing high-grade mineral resources at Lobo and on the greater Batangas Project generally.

Subsequently, drilling commenced to test the West Drift epithermal lode structure on the 27 November 2012 and a trenching program was

commenced at SWB, immediately to the southwest of SWB at Japanese Tunnel, and other new areas including Ulupong and Calumpang (see map below).

The completion of the initial drilling phase at West Drift has allowed interpretation and resource modeling (in progress) of the West Drift gold “shoot”, as well as evaluation of the potential for further drilling to test for extensions to the shallow plunging shoot and for repeats of the gold shoot at depth.

Following the West Drift program the Company completed two diamond drillholes for 230.5m at the Pica Prospect, at the northern end of the Lobo Project (see Lobo Compilation Map above). Multiple epithermal veins were intersected by the two drillholes, producing peak intersections of PC-05: 5m at 4.28 g/t Au and 15.75 g/t Ag from 22.4m downhole including 1.3m at 9.49 g/t Au, 21.5 g/t Ag and PC-06: 1.7m at 4.4 g/t Au and 34.8 g/t Ag from 58.10m downhole.

South West Breccia Lode – Cross section 10172mN

The initial drilling of the West Drift structure tested below the historic Lobo copper mine, where drilling by the previous owner intersected 9.3m @ 14.53 g/t Au from 136.5m, indicating a generally increasing gold grade with depth within the structure. Initial drilling confirmed the presence of a high-grade, shallow plunging, epithermal gold shoot and the program was continued with the completion of 16 holes for 3,331m. The drilling defined the vertical extent of a shallow plunging high grade gold shoot, located between ~100m and 150m below surface. High-grade results including LB 76: 5.2m @ 6.05 g/t Au from 138.25m; LB 67: 4.6m @ 5.83 g/t Au and 4.1% Copper (Cu) from 152.8m and LB 70: 6m @ 8.03 g/t Au from 197.8m are associated with a moderately plunging flexure or bend in the lode structure. The interpreted shoot has been defined over a 200m strike length and 50m dip-length and is open to the south(west) and north(east) (see longitudinal projection, below).

==> picture [249 x 183] intentionally omitted <==

The cluster of vein structures intersected by PC-05 and PC-06 are interpreted to dip both shallowly to the south–eastand steeply to the west (see cross section below) and remains open in all directions. Mapping by Red Mountain Mining has located northeast-southwest striking extensions to the Pica vein structure which has been mapped over a more than two kilometre strike length.

Further drilling has being planned for the 2014 financial year to test for extensions to the high grade mineralisation intersected at Pica, and potentially define a near surface gold and silver resource.

At Japanese Tunnel surface trenching and channel sampling was completed in three approximately 20m spaced trenches, producing surface trenching results of 5m at 10.43g/t Au including 1m at 25.14g/t Au and 2m at 18.12 g/t Au including 1m at 28.69g/t Au and defining a mineralised gold lode structure that has been extrapolated to a 100m strike length (see longitudinal projection with the SWB shoot below).

Japanese Tunnel - SWB Longitudinal Projection with Exploration Target drilling

Drilling and trenching of the outcropping, high-grade gold epithermal vein/lode mineralisation at Pica and Japanese Tunnel has produced high-grade gold results but data is of insufficient density to allow estimation of Mineral Resources at this stage. As such, based on drilled and sampled outcropping mineralisation, Exploration Targets have been estimated for the Pica and Japanese Tunnel Prospects, totaling in a range of 400,000 tonnes to 700,000 tonnes grading from 3.6 g/t gold equivalent (Au equ.) to 5.3 g/t Au equ. for 45,000 Au equ. ounces to 120,000 Au equ. ounces , (see Table 2 for details). The potential quantity and grade of the Exploration Target is conceptual in nature and there is insufficient exploration to estimate Mineral Resources and it is uncertain whether further exploration will result in the estimation of Mineral Resources .

A drilling program designed to test the Exploration Targets, with the ultimate objective of defining high-grade gold Mineral Resources, was commenced in August 2013, initially testing the Exploration Target at Japanese Tunnel immediately under the high-grade surface trenching results and 20m to the southwest of the initial trench where outcrop sampling by the previous operator produced results to 5m @ 6.63 g/t Au, 9.9 g/t Ag and 11.47 % Cu .

Results from the first five drillholes completed in the program were released on the 26 August and 13 September 2013 and included diamond drillhole LB82, which intersected 8.7m at 4.34 g/t Au, 13.8 g/t Ag, 0.89% Cu from 2.9m downhole depth including 3.7m @ 8.62 g/t Au, 26.9 g/t Ag, 1.66% Cu and including 0.55m @ 16.8 g/t Au, 9.0 g/t Ag, 1.71% Cu and diamond drill hole LB-85, which intersected 3.7m at 3.06 g/t Au, 8.7 g/t Ag and 2.26 % Cu from 12.3m downhole depth including 1.55m @ 5.97g/t Au, 18.4 g/t Ag, 4.88% Cu and including 0.5m @ 9.7 g/t Au, 34.8 g/t Ag, 8.29% Cu.

The initial results from Japanese Tunnel are very encouraging and have confirmed exploration potential to extend the mineralisation to the northeast, towards the next epithermal breccia-lode outcrop 60m distant that produced a peak assay of 3.79 g/t Au , and to the southwest, where mapping has determined that the structure potentially continues at least 700m before it is covered by a veneer of post-mineralisation limestone. The next appearance of epithermal quartz in this direction is 1.5 km to the southwest at Signal, where previous rockchip samples of sub-cropping epithermal quartz-barite lode graded up to 72.6 g/t Au.

Following compilation of results further drilling at Japanese Tunnel will focus on extending the mineralisation and defining a maiden resource.

Surface mapping and trenching also discovered a new high-grade epithermal gold vein at the Lobo Project, approximately 1 kilometre southeast of SWB. A continuous 19m surface channel of 1m spaced samples along the strike of an exposed epithermal quartz-barite vein produced an intersection of 19m @ 9.77 g/t gold including 7m @ 23.58 g/t gold and including 0.8m @ 94.78 g/t gold.

The vein is at the western end of an extensive zone of anomalous gold soil geochemistry at Ulupong-Sawahan that extends for more than two kilometres in a northeast-southwest direction, sub parallel to the South West Breccia and West Drift epithermal gold vein systems. Further sampling is in progress along the trend and includes results of 6.63 g/t Au and 67.4 g/t Ag from sub-cropping quartz-sulphide boulders in the Bigaan-Ulupong area, which is located approximately 800m along strike to the northeast of the original high grade trench.

==> picture [250 x 177] intentionally omitted <==

Recent trenching at ulupong Prospect, Chief geologist, Ed Manuel on left

The Philippines based exploration team continues to identify new epithermal vein discoveries that are being mapped and sampled with the objective of defining new drilling targets. New areas of sampling include the Calumpang, Camo and Far Northeast prospects, all of which are characterised by higher silver grades, indicative of being higher in the geological system above a preserved gold shoot at shallow depth.

Drilling of the high-grade gold targets will continue with the objective of increasing the Batangas Mineral Resource base.

Based on the current resource, and the anticipated resource increase, the Company plans to complete a scoping study into project processing

alternatives and associated capital and operating costs of mining and processing approximately 550,000 tonnes of open pitable gold resource material and producing up to 30,000 ounces of gold per annum for 10 years. If the outcomes of the scoping study are sufficiently positive, the Company will aim to complete project permitting and a definitive feasibility study during 2014.

COPPER-gOLD ExPLORATION

ExPLORATION AND DEvELOPMENT PROgRAMS fOR 2013 – 2014

The Company has commenced a drilling program designed to test near surface, high-grade Exploration Targets, initially at Japanese Tunnel and Pica on the Lobo Project.

The drilling program is expected to be completed in two stages, with the initial stage confirming the thickness and grade of the previously drilled and/or trench channel sampled gold mineralisation then a second stage of extension and infill drilling with the objective of increasing and upgrading Mineral Resources at the Lobo Project and on the Batangas Project as a whole.

Trenching and soil sampling will be continued in new prospect areas throughout the Batangas Project, including at Archangel, with the objective of defining further drilling targets for future resource growth.

In addition, the Company plans to complete a Scoping Study to demonstrate the viability of a gold mining project. Based on the current resource, and the anticipated mineral resource additions, the Scoping Study will examine project processing alternatives and associated capital and operating costs of mining and processing approximately 500,000 tonnes of open pitable gold resource material and producing approximately up to 30,000 ounces of gold per annum for over 10 years. If the outcomes of the scoping study are sufficiently positive, the Company will aim to complete project permitting and a definitive feasibility study during 2014.

Options granted during the year

Options without market based vesting conditions can be exercised at any time following vesting up to expiry date, and as such are more suitable valued using a binomial option pricing model. Option pricing models assume that the exercise of an option does not affect the value of the underlying asset.

The Group measures the cost of cash-settled share-based payments at fair value at the grant date using the Black and Scholes formula taking into account the terms and conditions upon which the instruments were granted, as discussed below.

reporting on Principle 1. The Corporate Governance Statement which is available on the
Company’s website discloses the specific responsibility of the Board.
The Corporate Governance Statement also specifically outlines the role
of the Company’s Chairperson and Company Secretary as well as the
Board Charter.
2 Structure the board to add value
2.1 A majority of the Board should be independent. Currently the Board is comprised of only one independent Director,
Michael Wolley. The Chairman, Mr Neil Warburton, is not considered
independent as he held an executive role from 3 April 2012 to 1
May 2013. Managing Director, Mr Jon Dugdale, is not considered
independent as a result of his current executive role.
Notwithstanding that the current composition of the Board does not
meet the requirements of ASX Principle 2, the Board considers that the
composition of the Board is adequate for the Company’s current size
and operations, and includes an appropriate mix of skills and expertise,
relevant to the Company’s business. The Board has formed the view that
the individuals on the Board can, and do make quality judgments in the
best interests of the Company on all relevant issues.
Directors having a conflict of interest in relation to a particular item of
business must absent themselves from the Board meeting before
commencement of discussion on the topic.

independent as, while he is currently non-executive, he held an
executive role from 3 April 2012 to 1 May 2013.
Notwithstanding he is not considered independent, Mr Warburton is
considered suitable to the position as he has considerable experience
and is well qualified for the position. The Board believes Mr Warburton
is able to and does bring impartial judgment to all relevant issues
falling within the scope of Chair.
2.3 The roles of Chair and Chief Executive Officer should not be The Company currently complies with this recommendation as the
exercised by the same individual. current Chair is Mr Neil Warburton, while Mr Jon Dugdale is the
Company’s Managing Director.
From 3 April 2012 to 1 May 2013, Mr Warburton was both the

Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Group. They are de consolidated from the date that control ceases.

The purchase method of accounting is used to account for the acquisition of subsidiaries by the Group.

Intercompany transactions, balances and unrealised income and expenses on transactions between group companies are eliminated in preparing the consolidated financial statements. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group.

(g) Segment reporting

Operating segments are components of the Group that engage in business activities from which they may earn revenues and incur expenses. They are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting to the chief operating decision makers. The chief operating decision makers, who are responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of the operating segments, have been identified as the Board of Directors (“Board”).

(h) Revenue recognition

Revenue is recognised and measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Consolidated Entity and the revenue can be measured reliably. The following specific criteria must also be met before revenue is recognised:

Interest income

Interest income is recognised on a time proportionate basis using the effective interest method.

All revenue stated is net of goods and services tax (“GST”).

(i) Income tax

The income tax expense for the reporting period is the tax payable on the current financial year’s taxable income based on the income tax rate adjusted by changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities attributable to temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements, and to unused tax losses.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognised for temporary differences at the tax rates expected to apply when the assets are recovered or liabilities are settled, based on those tax rates which are enacted or substantively enacted for each jurisdiction. The relevant tax rates are applied to the cumulative amounts of deductible and taxable temporary differences to measure the deferred tax asset or liability. An exception is made for certain temporary differences arising from the initial recognition of an asset or a liability. No deferred tax asset or liability is recognised in relation to these temporary differences if they arose in a transaction, other than a business combination, that at the time of the transaction did not affect either accounting profit or taxable profit or loss.

Deferred tax assets are recognised for deductible temporary differences and unused tax losses only if it is probable that future taxable amounts will

48 R e d M o u n t a i n M i n i n g L t d

N O T E S T O T H E C O N S O L I D AT E D F I N A N C I A L S TAT E M E N T S

be available to utilise those temporary differences and losses.

Deferred tax liabilities and assets are not recognised for temporary differences between the carrying amount and tax bases of investments in controlled entities where the parent entity is able to control the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences and it is probable that the differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future.

Current and deferred tax balances attributable to amounts recognised directly in equity are also recognised directly in equity.

(j) Imputation Credits

Pursuant to AASB 1054, Imputation Credits that will arise from the payment of the amount of the provision for income tax or the receipt of dividends are recognized as receivables at the reporting date. The disclosure of Imputation Credits shall be made separately in respect of any Australian imputation credits. To date, the Imputation Credits for the financial year ended 30 June 2013 is nil.

(k) Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand, deposits held at call with financial institutions, other short term, highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.

Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities on the statement of financial position.

(l) Trade receivables

Trade receivables are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost, less provision for doubtful debts. Trade receivables are due for settlement no more than 120 days from the date of recognition.

Collectability of trade receivables is reviewed on an ongoing basis. Debts which are known to be uncollectible are written off. A provision for doubtful receivables is established when there is objective evidence that the Group will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of receivables. The amount of the provision is the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows, discounted at the effective interest rate. The amount of the provision is recognised in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income.

N O T E S T O T H E C O N S O L I D AT E D F I N A N C I A L S TAT E M E N T S

(m) financial instruments

Financial assets and financial liabilities are initially recognised at fair value plus transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of financial assets other than financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss. Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised in the statement of financial position.

Financial Assets

The Group classifies its financial assets in the following categories: financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, held to maturity investments, loans and receivables, and available for sale financial assets. The classification depends on the purpose for which the assets were acquired. Management determines the classification of its investments at initial recognition and re evaluates this designation at each reporting date.

(i) Loans and receivables

Loans and receivables are non derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. They arise when the Group provides money, goods or services directly to a debtor with no intention of selling the receivable. They are included in current assets, except for those with maturities greater than 12 months after the reporting sheet date which are classified as non current assets. Loans and receivables are included in receivables in the statement of financial position.

Financial Liabilities and equity instruments

Financial liabilities and equity instruments are classified as either financial liabilities or as equity in accordance with the substance of the contractual arrangements.

Financial liabilities are non-derivative financial liabilities that are recognized initially at fair value plus any directly attributable transaction costs. Upon initial recognition, they are measured at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method.

Recognition and derecognition

Regular purchases and sales of financial assets are recognised on a trade date basis – the date on which the Group commits to purchase or sell the asset. Financial liability is recognised when the Group becomes a party of the contractual provision of the financial instrument.

Financial assets are derecognised when the contractual rights to receive cash flows from the financial assets have expired or have been transferred and the Group has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership. Upon derecognition of a financial asset, the difference between the asset’s carrying value and the sum of consideration received and the cumulative gain or loss that had been recognized in other comprehensive income is recognised in profit or loss.

Financial liabilities are derecognised when the obligations specified in the contract are discharged or cancelled or expire. Upon derecognition of a financial liability, the difference between the carrying amount of liability derecognized and consideration paid is recognised in profit or loss.

(n) Trade and other payables

These amounts represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Group prior to the end of financial year which are unpaid. The amounts are unsecured and are usually paid 30 days end of month. Trade and other payables are carried at amortised cost, using the effective interest method.

(o) Contributed equity

Ordinary shares are classified as equity.

Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds.

(p) Earnings per share

(i) Basic earnings per share

Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the profit attributable to equity holders of the Company, excluding any costs of servicing equity other than ordinary shares, by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the year, adjusted for bonus elements in ordinary shares issued during the year.

(ii) Diluted earnings per share

Diluted earnings per share adjusts the figures used in the determination of basic earnings per share to take into account the after income tax effect of interest and other financing costs associated with dilutive potential ordinary shares and the weighted average number of shares assumed to have been issued for no consideration in relation to dilutive potential ordinary shares.

(q) goods and services tax (gST)

Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of associated GST, unless the GST incurred is not recoverable from the Australian Taxation Office. In this case it is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of the expense.

Receivables and payables are stated inclusive of the amount of GST receivable or payable. The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the Australian Taxation Office is included with other receivables or payables in the Statement of Financial Position.

Cash flows are presented on a gross basis. The GST components of cash flows arising from investing or financing activities which are recoverable from, or payable to the Australian Taxation Office, are presented as operating cash flow.

(r) foreign currency translation

Both the functional and the presentation currency of Red Mountain Mining Limited is the Australian Dollar.

Transactions in foreign currencies are initially recorded in the functional currency at the rate prevailing at that transaction date. At the end of each reporting period, monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rate of exchange at the reporting date. Non-monetary assets and liabilities carried at fair value that are denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the rate of exchange at the date when the fair value was determined. Non-monetary items that are measured at historical cost in a foreign currency are not retranslated. Gains and losses arising from this translation policy are recognised in profit or loss.

The functional currency of Red Mountain Mining (Hong Kong) Holdings Ltd is the Hong Kong Dollar. The functional currency of Red Mountain Mining Consulting (Shenyang) Co Ltd is the Chinese yuan.

The functional currency of Red Mounting Mining (Singapore) Pte Ltd is Singapore Dollar.

The functional currency of MRL Gold Inc and Egerton Gold Philippines Inc is Philippines Peso.

At the reporting date the assets and liabilities of the overseas subsidiaries are translated into presentation currency of Red Mountain Mining Limited at the rate prevailing at the reporting date and the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income are translated at the weighted average exchange rate for the period. Resulting exchange differences are recognised in equity.

(s) Impairment of assets

Assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs to sell and value in use. For the purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash flows (cash generating units).

The discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset for which the estimates of future cash flows have not been adjusted.

If the recoverable amount of an asset (or cash-generating unit) is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset (cash-generating unit) is reduced to its recoverable amount. An impairment loss is recognised in the profit or loss immediately. Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset (cash-generating unit) is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but only to the extent that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset (cash-generating unit) in prior years.

A reversal of an impairment loss is recognised in the profit or loss immediately.

(t) Property, plant and equipment

Each class of equipment is carried at cost value as indicated less, where applicable, any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses.

Equipment is measured on the cost basis less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses.

52

N O T E S T O T H E C O N S O L I D AT E D F I N A N C I A L S TAT E M E N T S

The carrying amount of equipment is reviewed annually by the Board to ensure it is not in excess of the recoverable amount from these assets. The recoverable amount is assessed on the basis of the expected net cash flows that will be received from the asset’s employment and subsequent disposal. The expected net cash flows have been discounted to their present values in determining recoverable amounts.

Depreciation

The depreciable amount of all fixed assets is depreciated on a straight-line basis over the asset’s useful life to the Group commencing from the time the asset is held ready for use.

The depreciation rates used for each class of depreciable assets are:

Class of fixed Asset Depreciation Rate Plant and equipment 18.75% – 50%

The assets’ residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at the end of each reporting period.

Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing proceeds with the carrying amount. These gains or losses are included in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income. When revalued assets are sold, amounts included in the revaluation surplus relating to that asset are transferred to retained earnings.

(u) Provisions for employee benefits

All employees of the group are entitled to benefits from the group’s superannuation plan on retirement, disability or death or can direct the group to make contributions to a defined contribution plan of their choice. The group’s superannuation plan has a defined benefit section and a defined contribution section. The defined benefit section provides defined lump sum benefits based on years of service and final average salary. The defined contribution section receives fixed contributions from group companies and the group’s legal or constructive obligation is limited to these contributions.

The liability or asset recognised in the balance sheet in respect of defined benefit superannuation plans is the present value of the defined benefit obligation at the end of the reporting period less the fair value of plan assets, together with adjustments for unrecognised past service costs. The defined benefit obligation is calculated annually by independent actuaries using the projected unit credit method.

The present value of the defined benefit obligation is determined by discounting the estimated future cash outflows using market yields of government bonds that are denominated in the currency in which the benefits will be paid, and that have terms approximating to the terms of the related obligation. In countries where there is a deep market in high-quality corporate bonds, the market rates on those bonds are used.

Actuarial gains and losses arising from experience adjustments and changes in actuarial assumptions are recognised in the period in which they occur, directly in other comprehensive income.

Past service costs are recognised immediately in profit or loss, unless the changes to the superannuation fund are conditional on the employees remaining in service for a specified period of time (the vesting period). In this case, the past service costs are amortised on a straight-line basis over the vesting period.

a n n u a L R e p o R t 2 0 1 3 53

N O T E S T O T H E C O N S O L I D AT E D F I N A N C I A L S TAT E M E N T S

Contributions to the defined contribution section of the group’s superannuation plan and other independent defined contribution superannuation funds are recognised as an expense as they become payable. Prepaid contributions are recognised as an asset to the extent that a cash refund or a reduction in the future payments is available.

(v) Operating Lease

A lease that does not substantially transfer to the Group all the risks and rewards of ownership of assets are accounted for as operating lease. For operating leases, lease payments (excluding costs for services such as insurance and maintenance) are recognised as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

(w) Mineral exploration, evaluation and development expenditure

Exploration and evaluation expenditure incurred is accumulated in respect of each identifiable area of interest where we have the right of tenure. These costs are only carried forward to the extent that they are expected to be recouped through the successful development of the area or where activities in the area have not yet reached a stage that permits reasonable assessment of the existence of economically recoverable reserves.

Accumulated costs in relation to an abandoned area are written off in full against profit or loss in the year in which the decision to abandon the area is made.

When production commences, the accumulated costs for the relevant area of interest are transferred to Mine Properties and amortised over the life of the area according to the rate of depletion of the economically recoverable reserves.

A regular review for impairment is undertaken of each area of interest to determine the appropriateness of continuing to carry forward costs in relation to that area of interest.

Costs of site restoration are provided over the life of the facility from when exploration commences and are included in the costs of that stage. Site restoration costs include the dismantling and removal of mining plant, equipment and building structures, waste removal, and rehabilitation of the site in accordance with clauses of the mining permits. Such costs have been determined using estimates of future costs, current legal requirements and technology on a discounted basis.

Any changes in the estimates for the costs are accounted on a prospective basis. In determining the costs of site restoration, there is uncertainty regarding the nature and extent of the restoration due to community expectations and future legislation. Accordingly the costs have been determined on the basis that the restoration will be completed within one year of abandoning the site.

(x) Share-based payment transactions

Equity settled transactions:

The Group provides benefits to employees (including senior executives) in the form of share-based payments, whereby employees render services in exchange for shares or rights over shares (equity-settled transactions).

There is currently an Employee Share Option Plan (ESOP) in place to provide these benefits to directors, senior executives and employees.

The cost of these equity-settled transactions with employees is measured by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments at the date at which they are granted. The fair value is determined by using a Black-Scholes model, further details of which are given in Note 22.

54 R e d M o u n t a i n M i n i n g L t d

N O T E S T O T H E C O N S O L I D AT E D F I N A N C I A L S TAT E M E N T S

In valuing equity-settled transactions, no account is taken of any performance conditions, other than conditions linked to the price of the shares of Red Mountain Mining Ltd (market conditions), if applicable.

The cost of equity-settled transactions is recognised, together with a corresponding increase in equity, over the period in which the performance and/ or service conditions are fulfilled, ending on the date on which the relevant employees become fully entitled to the award (the vesting period).

The cumulative expense recognised for equity-settled transactions at each reporting date until vesting date reflects:

  • (i) the extent to which the vesting period has expired and

  • (ii) the Group’s best estimate of the number of equity instruments that will ultimately vest.

No adjustment is made for the likelihood of market performance conditions being met as the effect of these conditions is included in the determination of fair value at grant date. The statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income charge or credit for a period represents the movement in cumulative expense recognised as at the beginning and end of that period.

No expense is recognised for awards that do not ultimately vest, except for awards where vesting is only conditional upon a market condition.

If the terms of an equity-settled award are modified, as a minimum an expense is recognised as if the terms had not been modified. In addition, an expense is recognised for any modification that increases the total fair value of the share-based payment arrangement, or is otherwise beneficial to the employee, as measured at the date of modification.

If an equity-settled award is cancelled, it is treated as if it had vested on the date of cancellation, and any expense not yet recognised for the award is recognised immediately. However, if a new award is substituted for the cancelled award and designated as a replacement award on the date that it is granted, the cancelled and new award are treated as if they were a modification of the original award, as described in the previous paragraph.

(y) Exploration Asset acquisition

On 24 July 2012, the Company signed a binding Share Sale Agreement (“SSA”) with Mindoro Resources Limited (“Mindoro”) to acquire Mindoro’s gold and copper gold assets in the Philippines in consideration for 100,000,000 fully paid ordinary shares and 50,000,000 performance shares (subject to achievement of certain milestones). On 30 October 2012, upon the completion of the acquisition, the Company, via subsidiaries, obtained a 100% interest in the Batangas Project and a 75% interest in the Tapian San Francisco Project. Transfer of certain tenements is subject to further restructure, to be completed within 12 months of closing. See Note 28 for details.

(z) Capital risk management

The Group’s objectives when managing capital are to safeguard its ability to continue as a going concern, so that it can continue to fund investment opportunities and develop or secure access to a producing mining asset.

Consistently with others in the industry, the Group monitors capital on the basis of working capital requirements.

During 2013, the Group’s strategy - which was unchanged from 2012 - was to maintain a current account balance sufficient to meet the Group’s day to day expenses with the balance held in term deposits.

The Group’s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: liquidity risk, market risk (including fair value interest rate risk, currency risk and price risk) and credit risk.

The Group’s overall risk management program focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to minimise potential adverse effects on the financial performance of the Group.

Risk management is carried out by the full Board of Directors. The Board identifies and evaluates financial risks in close co-operation with management and provides written principles for overall risk management.

The executive management team meets regularly to analyse and monitor the financial risks associated to the business operations.

(i) Liquidity risk

Prudent liquidity risk management implies maintaining sufficient cash, prudent oversight of future funding requirements and maintaining ongoing contact to facilitators of further funding.

The Group has implemented a creditors policy, authorisation matrix and purchase order system in order to consistently improve the quality of control over contractual obligations, cash flow and budgeting.

It is the Group’s policy to review the Group’s liquidity position including cash flow forecasts, actual cash flows and variation reports regularly to determine the forecast liquidity position and maintain appropriate liquidity levels.

(ii) Market risk

Fair value interest rate risk

As the Group’s major assets are cash deposits held in fixed and variable interest rate deposits, the Group’s income and operating cash flows are materially exposed to changes in market interest rates. The Group manages this risk by only investing in A+ rated institutions and maintaining an appropriate mix between different terms.

At reporting date, the Group had the following exposure to variable interest rate risk.

Currency risk

The Group’s subsidiary is based in Hong Kong and its sustainability is dependent on the provision of cash from the parent entity. Cash funds in Hong Kong are held in Hong Kong dollars, US dollars and Australian Dollars. The Group’s subsidiary is based in China and its sustainability is dependent on the provision of cash from its parent entity. Cash funds in China are held in Chinese yuan and US Dollars. The Group’s subsidiary is based in Singapore and its sustainability is dependent on the provision of cash from its parent entity. Cash funds in Singapore are held in Singapore Dollars. The Group’s subsidiary based in the Philippines is dependent on the provision of cash from the parent entity. Cash funds in Philippines are held in US Dollars and Philippines Peso thus the Group is exposed to diminution of cash balances through currency exchange risk.

Based on the financial instruments held at 30 June 2013, had the Australian dollar strengthened/weakened by 10% against the US dollar with all other variables held constant, the Group’s post-tax profit for the financial year would have been $28,085 lower/higher (2012: $99,604 lower/higher), mainly as a result of foreign exchange losses/gains on translation of US dollar denominated financial instruments as detailed in the above table. Profit or loss is more sensitive to movements in AUD/USD exchange rates. The Group’s exposure to other foreign exchange movements is not material.

Fair value measurements

The fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities must be estimated for recognition and measurement or for disclosure purposes.

AASB 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures requires disclosure of fair value measurements by level of the following fair value measurement hierarchy:

  • quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (level 1)

  • inputs other than quoted prices included within level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (as prices) or indirectly (derived from prices) (level 2), and

  • inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs) (level 3).

All financial assets and liabilities have been recognised at the reporting date at their net fair values.

The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents, trade receivable and payables are assumed to approximate their fair values due to their short-term maturity.

  • Receivables and payables: The carrying amount approximates fair value.

Price risk

The Group is not exposed to equity securities price risk as it holds no investments in securities classified on the statement of financial position either as available for sale or at fair value through profit or loss. The Group is not exposed directly to commodity price risk.

(iii) Credit Risk

Credit risk refers to the risk that counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in financial loss to the Group.

Trade receivables are recorded at the invoiced amount. The Group does not have any off-balance-sheet credit exposure related to the customers. The credit risk of the Group arises from cash and cash equivalents, deposits with banks and financial institutions, available- for-sale financial assets, as well as credit exposure to customers, including outstanding receivables. For banks and financial institutions, only independently rated parties with a minimum Standard & Poor’s credit rating of A (or equivalent) are accepted. The Group assesses credit risk and allowance for doubtful accounts on a customer specific basis. The Group has adopted the policy of only dealing with credit worthy counterparties. As of 30 June 2013 and 2012, the Group does not have an allowance for doubtful debt accounts.

Credit risk further arises during the financial year ended 30 June 2013 as a result of the acquisition of Mindoro’s Batangas and Tapian San Francisco gold and copper-gold assets in the Philippines. The maximum credit risk exposure of the Group at 30 June 2013 is $991,235 (2012: $4,380,150). There are no impaired receivables at 30 June 2013 (2012: Nil).

The Group’s maximum exposures to credit risk at the reporting date in relation to each class of recognised financial asset is the carrying amount, net of any provision for doubtful debts, of those assets as indicated in the statement of financial position.

Note 3. Critical accounting estimates and judgments and assumptions

(i) Significant accounting judgments

The directors evaluate estimates and judgments incorporated into the financial report based on historical knowledge and best available information. Estimates assume a reasonable expectation of future events and are based on current trends and economic data, obtained both externally and within the Group.

(ii) Exploration and evaluation assets

The Group’s accounting policy for exploration and evaluation expenditure is set out in note 1(w). The application of this policy necessarily requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions as to future events and circumstances, in particular, the assessment of whether economic quantities of reserves are found. Any such estimates and assumptions may change as new information becomes available. If, after having capitalised expenditure under this policy, the Directors conclude that the Group is unlikely to recover the expenditure by future exploration or sale, then the relevant capitalised amount will be written off to the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income.

(iii) Share-based payment transactions

The consolidated entity measures the cost of equity-settled transactions with employees by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments at the date at which they are granted. The fair value is determined by using Black-Scholes model taking into account the terms and conditions upon which the instruments were granted. The accounting estimates and assumptions relating to equity-settled share-based payments would have no impact on the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next annual reporting period but may impact profit or loss and equity.

The potential future income tax benefit will only be obtained if:

(i) the Company derives future assessable income of a nature and of an amount sufficient to enable the benefit to be realised;

(ii) the Company continues to comply with the conditions for deductibility imposed by law; and

(iii) no changes in tax legislation adversely affect the Company in realising the benefit.

No deferred tax assets have been recognised due to the fact that it is not probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the unused tax losses can be utilised.

The franking account balance at year end was nil.

The Group has an unfunded defined retirement benefit plan covering all of its regular employees in the Philippines. The plan provides for payment of retirement, death, disability and voluntary and involuntary separation benefits to its employees or their beneficiaries. Under the provisions of the plan, the normal retirement age is 60 but employees with at least five (5) years of service can avail of early retirement. Upon normal retirement, a member of the plan shall receive a benefit equivalent to the minimum retirement benefit as provided by R.A. 7641 at the time of his/her retirement. The projected unit credit method was used to determine the current service cost for the period.

  1. The Options will vest if and when the trading price of the Company’s shares is 20 cents or greater (on a pre-consolidation basis) or at or above an equivalent post-consolidation price for more than 30 consecutive trading days on which the shares in the Company trade.

  2. The Options will vest on Mr Neil Warburton completing 4 years continuous service as a Director or Chief Executive Officer of the Company from his commencement date of 3 April 2012.

Options without market based vesting conditions can be exercised at any time following vesting up to expiry date, and as such are more suitable valued using a binomial option pricing model. Option pricing models assume that the exercise of an option does not affect the value of the underlying asset.

Note 25. Dividend

The Board does not recommend the payment of a dividend for the financial year ended 30 June 2013. No dividends were paid during the financial year.

Note 26. Operating Segments

Red Mountain Mining Limited operates predominantly in one industry being the mining and exploration industry in Australia and Philippines.

Segment Information

Identification of reportable segments

The Company has identified its operating segments based on the internal reports that are reviewed and used by the board of directors in assessing performance and determining the allocation of resources.

a n n u a L R e p o R t 2 0 1 3 83

N O T E S T O T H E C O N S O L I D AT E D F I N A N C I A L S TAT E M E N T S

Note 26. Operating Segments (cont’d)

The Company is managed primarily on the basis of its gold exploration in the Philippines and its corporate activities. Operating segments are therefore determined on the same basis.

Reportable segments disclosed are based on aggregating operating segments where the segments are considered to have similar economic characteristics.

Types of reportable segments

(i) Gold exploration

Segment assets, including acquisition cost of exploration licenses and all expenses related to the tenements in Philippines are reported on in this segment.

(ii) Corporate

Corporate, including treasury, corporate and regulatory expenses arising from operating an ASX listed entity. Segment assets, including cash and cash equivalents, and investments in financial assets are reported in this segment.

Basis of accounting for purposes of reporting by operating segments

Accounting policies adopted

Unless stated otherwise, all amounts reported to the Board of Directors as the chief decision maker with respect to operating segments are determined in accordance with accounting policies that are consistent to those adopted in the annual financial statements of the Company.

Segment assets

Where an asset is used across multiple segments, the asset is allocated to the segment that receives the majority of economic value from the asset. In the majority of instances, segment assets are clearly identifiable on the basis of their nature and physical location.

Unless indicated otherwise in the segment assets note, deferred tax assets and intangible assets have not been allocated to operating segments.

Segment liabilities

Liabilities are allocated to segments where there is direct nexus between the incurrence of the liability and the operations of the segment. Borrowings and tax liabilities are generally considered to relate to the Company as a whole and are not allocated. Segment liabilities include trade and other payables.

Note 28. Acquisition of Exploration and Evaluation Assets

On 24 July 2012, the Company signed a binding Share Sale Agreement (“SSA”) with Mindoro Resources Limited (“Mindoro”) to acquire Mindoro’s gold and copper gold assets in the Philippines in consideration for 100,000,000 fully paid ordinary shares and 50,000,000 performance shares. On 30 October 2012, upon the completion of the acquisition, the Company, via subsidiaries, obtained a 100% interest in the Batangas Project and a 75% interest in the Tapian San Francisco Project. Transfer of certain tenements is subject to further restructure, to be completed within 12 months of closing.

The transaction is not a business combination as the Company’s acquired assets did not meet the definition of a business as defined in the Australian Accounting Standards. The substance and intent was for the Company to acquire the exploration and evaluation assets in the Philippines for the purpose of building the Company’s resource base in line with the Company’s strategy. Therefore, this transaction has been accounted for under AASB2 Share Based Payments.

An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by the directors, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial report.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

Independence

In conducting our audit, we have complied with the independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 . We confirm that the independence declaration required by the Corporations Act 2001 , which has been given to the directors of Red Mountain Mining Limited, would be in the same terms if given to the directors as at the time of this auditor’s report.
